"Get Out"
Jordan Peele’s film is an intelligent and unflinching piece of work, firmly focused on the African American experience.
The Dazzling Miss Davison (1917)
Young society rake Gerard Buckland spies a pretty girl walking down the street. As he tries to figure out a way to approach her, he sees a disreputable-looking man surreptitiously hand her a diamond necklace, which she hides on her person before fading into the crowd and disappearing from sight. Later that day he visits a friend's home, and is astounded to meet that same girl. During their conversation she claims that, as a lark, she picks her friends' pockets of valuables and gives them back later--but Gerard doesn't quite buy it. It turns out that she is, in fact, not what she says she is, but not in the way Gerard thinks.

This is especially important as the Black trans community has been shown in studies to face the highest level of discrimination amongst general trans and non-binary groups.
